Chapter 550: Reach the heavens
Dongyang knelt in front of the statue of the old gentleman of the Taoist temple, and was in a very bad mood.
Mobilize the guards of the Taoist temple to block the king of Qi on the wilderness road, and overwhelm people with power, and after slapping the king of Qi a few times smoothly and happily, Dongyang ordered to drive back to the Taoist temple, sat alone in the princess Luan, and then ...... While crying, he breathed his palm, the slap was too heavy, King Qi's face hurt, Dongyang's hand was also very painful, and the jade onion-like tender white hand was red, a little numb, a little hot.
After returning to the Taoist temple, Dongyang knelt in front of the statue of Lao Jun and refused to get up, saying that he had committed a crime and done evil things that hurt people, and he wanted to ask Lao Jun for his guilt and deep self-reflection.
So, Dongyang, who felt sinful, knelt down in front of the statue of Lao Jun and recited the scriptures silently.
In front of the statue of Lao Jun, Dongyang's face was full of guilt, his eyes were half-closed, and his cherry lips kept squirming, but he was reading the Taoist "Lao Tzu's Western Ascension Sutra".
“…… The cult is right, and it should be natural. Therefore, there is good luck, and the roots should be planted. If there is such a receiving, the nucleus is divided into ......"
This is the "Evil Chapter" in the "Western Ascension Sutra", it is the Taoist teaching the world to be good, to the effect that all things in the world are in their own way, and they become natural, so there are good and evil consequences, so the cultivators should plant good roots and so on, this passage of scripture Dongyang has been silently recited for several hours, but the guilt on his face is still not reduced.
It is really bitter Dongyang, in his twenties, he has never had a dispute with people since he was a child, let alone take the initiative to slap someone, after Dongyang smoked Queen Qi, he was so frightened when he returned to the house, thinking of his identity as a monk, and then thinking about the appearance of the shrew when he started to smoke people just now, Dongyang, who had received a top royal tutor, was suddenly ashamed, and couldn't say why, he cried inexplicably.
After returning to the Taoist temple, he washed his hands and changed his clothes and bathed, knelt in front of the statue of Lao Jun and sincerely pleaded guilty, and refused to get up for several hours.
Seeing Dongyang, the green willow looked like a water. After snorting a few times, he said sneeringly: "Your Highness, you don't have to blame yourself too much, King Qi is ...... He's not a good guy after all......"
Dongyang ignored her and kept reciting the scriptures.
"Oh, Your Highness. There is really no need to feel guilty, what the King of Qi has done over the years, the slave maid inquired clearly in Chang'an City, you are beating a bad person, it is for the heavens, if the old gentleman knows for nine days, he will definitely praise you for doing a good job......"
The main hall was suddenly quiet, Dongyang stopped chanting, and opened his eyes to look at the green willows. Slowly shaking his head.
"Whether King Qi is a bad person or not has nothing to do with me, I reflect on myself, although it is for Li ...... Li Jia's Aweng took revenge, after all, I also committed the idea of resentment, and the monks planted their own evil fruits, and they were free to repay them by themselves, not only reciting the scriptures. And do more good deeds to overcome this bad karma. Only then can you practice without hindrance and get rid of the demons in your heart......"
Green Willow listened to Dongyang's chatter, blinking his eyes ignorantly.
"But...... Your Highness, you have been kneeling for several hours, and you have not eaten or drunk, and your body is not good. I'm going to get sick if I keep going like this......"
Dongyang shook his head firmly: "Illness is the evil result that Lao Jun gave me, it is destined by God, if a serious illness can withstand this bad karma, it is a good thing to be sick, Green Willow." Don't say it, I have to kneel in front of the statue of Lao Jun for seven days and seven nights to get rid of my demons and relieve the guilt in my heart......"
Green Willow was so anxious that he stomped his feet, but seeing Dongyang Dao's firm appearance, he had no idea for a while, so he had to quietly withdraw from the hall.
When Dongyang was the only one left in the main hall, Dongyang sighed quietly, then closed his eyes and recited the scriptures again.
It didn't take long for the green willow to suddenly jump up and run into the hall again, Dongyang frowned dissatisfiedly, and was about to reprimand a few words, but he heard the green willow smile happily: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Marquis Li is here, waiting outside the gate......"
"Huh?" Dongyang was stunned.
"Oh, Master Li, Master Li, Master Li Su! You're not going to see him, are you? Green Willow said urgently.
Dongyang looked happy, his white teeth couldn't help biting his lower lip, and the joy and resentment in his eyes were repeatedly intertwined.
This enemy, how long has it been since the Li family had an accident......
"Your Highness, Your Highness ......" Lu Liu's eyes smiled, and asked mischievously: "Do you want the slave maid to go back to Marquis Li, just say that His Highness's Taoist cultivation is strong, and he doesn't see outsiders, how about inviting him to come back in seven days?" ”
After saying that, Green Willow turned around and wanted to leave.
Dongyang was so entangled that he looked up at the majestic and kind golden statue of the old gentleman in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the direction of the gate of the Taoist temple, his lower lip was about to bite and bleed, and his expression was still extremely hesitant and struggling.
"Your Highness, slave maid...... I'm really going back to Hou Ye Li! Green Willow's voice came from behind with a teasing smile.
"Wait...... Wait, Green Willow! Dongyang finally couldn't help but speak.
Midori grinned and stopped.
Dongyang turned his head, his expression became more and more entangled, and he struggled to make a Taoist gesture towards Lao Jun, and said in a low voice: "Lao Jun is above, you have great powers, the disciple just said that he repented for seven days and seven nights, but he ...... Here he comes again, you say...... Do you want to go out to meet him? ”
The statue of Lao Jun did not react, still looking down on the joy of all beings with a kind and compassionate face.
Dongyang sighed sadly, blinked and said, "Moru...... The disciple comes to occupy a hexagram, if the yang side is up, it is to go out to see him, if the yin side is up, it is the old gentleman, you do not allow the disciple to go out, how about it? ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Lao Jun agreed or not, Dongyang took a cup from the incense case, the so-called "cup", which is a pair of cashew nut-shaped hexagram utensils, which Taoists use to divinate good fortune and ask the heavens for asking for things...... Feudal superstition?
The cup was originally a pair, this thing is also known as the "holy hexagram", Dongyang only took one and gently threw it to the ground, but she was disappointed, only to see the cup lying quietly on the ground, with the yin side up.
Dongyang was even more entangled, bit his lower lip, hesitated for a while, and suddenly said: "Lao Jun is above, the disciple just occupied this hexagram,...... Is it okay not to count? The disciple wants to occupy it again...... Ask Lao Jun for forgiveness. ”
Standing outside the hall, Lu Liu watched in amazement at the dignified and gentle princess Her Royal Highness, and she was still playing tricks with the fairy grandfather...... Green willow apricot's eyes widened in shock, and she looked at Dongyang's back in disbelief.
Destroy the three views! Your Highness, what's the matter?
Dongyang not only played Lai, but also played three times in a row, until the fourth time, the sky was pitiful, and the cup finally turned upward, and Dongyang's eyes lit up. smiled excitedly: "Thank you Lao Jun for making it perfect, the disciple knows that you will definitely agree......"
Green Willow looked up to the sky and sighed, this scoundrel can play it, if Lao Jun knows above the nine heavens, a thunder will fall on a sunny day and kill her.
"That'...... Did the disciple go to see him? When you come back, you will ask Lao Jun for sin. ”
After speaking, Dongyang seemed to have received the approval of Lao Jun, and respectfully bowed to Lao Jun's statue. Then got up and turned his head, his small chest was high, and he got up and walked towards the gate, with an inexplicable confidence that came out of nowhere, and his steps were getting faster and faster, and when he arrived at the gate, Dongyang was almost already trotting.
Stepping out of the threshold of the Taoist temple, Dongyang's breathing was slightly short, and he saw Li Su standing quietly under a locust tree in front of the door from a distance. Looking at her with a smile, her eyes were as clear and gentle as ever, revealing a hint of imperceptible doting.
The guards on duty outside the door saluted her one after another, Dongyang Qiao blushed, nodded majestically, and then walked side by side with Li Su to the path at the entrance of the village.
The guards had long been accustomed to it, and they consciously did not disturb the meeting between Marquis Li and Her Royal Highness the Princess. Since Li Su returned to Chang'an from Xizhou. He was already a regular visitor to the temple, and the guards did not know what orders they had received. Others were not allowed to enter the Taoist temple for half a step, but for Li Su, they chose to ignore it completely.
Li Su and Dongyang walked slowly on the path side by side, until they were far away from the gate of the Taoist temple, and they could no longer see the figure of the guard, Dongyang suddenly went crazy. raised his little pink fist and slammed it at him, scolding as he scolded.
"You bastard, it's all your fault, it's all your fault! caused me not only to break my promise in front of Lao Jun, but also to cheat on me...... It's all your fault! ”
Li Su was beaten inexplicably by this beating. The eye quickly grabbed Dongyang's hand, and said in amazement: "Hey! Are you crazy or have you eaten the wrong thing? ”
*********************************************************************
Taiji Palace, Ganlu Palace.
Li Shimin leaned on the soft couch, with a complete nitrated black bear skin under him, and two pots of charcoal fire burning next to him, and the hall was as warm as spring.
But Li Shimin's mood at the moment was as cold as the weather outside the hall.
The eunuch Chang Tu stood in front of Li Shimin, standing still with an expressionless face, while Li Shimin's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold.
“…… Therefore, this matter was done by the prince secretly sending assassins, and then deliberately blamed Qi Wangyou? ”
"Yes." Often Tu bows down.
"What about Li Su? After coming back from Xizhou, did he become a coward, and he could endure this breath even if his father was stabbed? Li Shimin asked coldly.
"The slave maid doesn't know, but yesterday afternoon, in front of the East Palace, there was a murder case, and a murderer took the prince to lead the left guard captain He Jiliang, and in the open space in front of the East Palace, he Jiliang was killed in front of the guards of the East Palace...... After this case, the guards of the East Palace hurriedly pursued the murderer, but was stopped by the generals of the East Palace Forbidden Army, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince never mentioned the matter again, let alone sent someone to hunt down the murderer. ”
Li Shimin's face was still gloomy, but the disappointment in his eyes was a little less, and he nodded slowly: "Li Su, this baby...... It's a good violent temperament, but the technique is much more sleek than a few years ago, but it's just ...... Hum! But the work is becoming more and more lawless! ”
His expression was gradually replaced by a look of deep disappointment and annoyance, Li Shimin shook his head and sighed, "These sons of mine ...... There is no one who is angry, the prince pretended to be a good boy these days, and in the end he still showed his tail after all, the huge country, I really don't know ...... future"
In the middle of speaking, Li Shimin suddenly paused, and didn't say any more, but his expression was sad and worried.
Chang Tu looked at His Majesty the Emperor who was angry and worried, and Mu Ran's face was also a little moved.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing ......"
Li Shimin held his forehead and waved his hand weakly: "Say, what have these good sons and daughters of mine done to hurt the heavens and reason......
"It's not hurting the heavens and reason, after the prince assassinated Li's father and blamed His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the Marquis of Li County didn't fall for it, but it was just ...... Princess Dongyang of Taiping Village fell for the trick, she mistakenly thought that it was really His Royal Highness the King of Qi who sent someone to assassinate Li's father, in order to help the Li family get ahead, and in order to prevent the Marquis of Li County from causing a catastrophe, Her Royal Highness Princess Dongyang ordered more than 700 forbidden troops in the Princess Mansion that day, and intercepted His Royal Highness the King of Qi who left Beijing for Qizhou in the middle of the road, and ...... Her Royal Highness the princess personally took action and slapped His Royal Highness King Qi a few times. ”
"Huh?"
Rao is His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, who did not change color after the collapse of Mount Tai, was also stunned and looked incredulous when he heard this.
"Dongyang...... Hit? ”
After a stunned pause, Li Shimin asked without giving up: "Isn't it wrong?" The Dongyang who became a monk in Taiping Village? ”
"Exactly." (To be continued.) )
